Brits choose festivals over holidays abroad

It would appear that the days of holidays baking in the sun could become a thing of the past as Brits ditch their annual holiday in favour of a festival. So would you buy festival tickets as a Christmas gift this Christmas?

Could it be that they’ve had enough of waiting around in an airport for hours to then get a long or short haul flight to the sun?

As the cost of holidays continue to rise and we enjoy hotter UK summers, 1 in 5 music fans are now more than happy to get together with friends and head off for a long weekend of live music with friends instead.

To many music fans, summer would not be complete without soaking up the atmosphere, watching bands and artists that they love and making new friends at their favourite festival.  You never know,  Santa might just drop in to listen to his favourite tunes.

Heading off with friends to a music festival is a great way to enjoy live entertainment, increase social skills and build confidence. As live entertainment events continue to evolve, many more festival fans will spend their summers enjoying the excitement of the festival, unforgettable live music and everything they could want all in one place.

Will you swap your holiday in the sun for a festival this year?
